Honest and Fair Representation

I was referred to Ilene from an other lawyer, after going through two others and also representing myself throughout a lengthy 5+ year divorce, and from the moment we had our first consultation, I knew she was what I was missing and needed. She was open and upfront from the start and kept me well inf...ormed during the whole process of what was going on and what to expect. One of her best qualities was, when she needed to be, she was brutally honest with me in times that I was over reaching on demands or expecting an outcome that was unrealistic. She had no problem, pulling me aside and simply telling me that I was fighting a losing battle and shift focus to things more obtainable, which is something you need to hear from time to time. Overall, in an emotional process, she was able to take the emotion out of it and break things down from a practical stand-point, which is extremely important in divorce proceedings as well as issues that arise post divorce. (parenting time, custody issues, etc.) So if you are looking for someone that is honest and fair and will also be strong at the negotiating table and/or in front of the judge, I would highly recommend Ilene Belinksy.

Best lawyer!!!

When my husband filed for divorce I didn't know what to do, until I hired Ilene she was incredible. She did so much for me and my children. She knew how to handle things great and did 100x better than both the other lawyers my ex had. She was right on top of her game and had things done promptly and... efficiently. I won and got everything I asked for. That to me is a success. I would recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a divorce lawyer.

Extremely Satisfied Client

Ilene was recommended to me by a close friend to work on my divorce. She took the time to learn about me and my family, and helped calm my concerns about how they would be affected. Ilene did an excellent job of guiding me through the process by explaining in plain English all available options and... potential pitfalls. Through it all she made herself available by phone, email or evening meetings that accommodated my schedule. In the years following I have used her services for business contracts, buying real estate, estate planning and estate settlements. I highly recommend Ilene to anyone requiring legal services.

Compassionate, smart and aggressive

I initially retained Ilene to assist me with a custody issue. She had helped a good friend of mine, who highly recommended her. After our first meeting it was clear to me Ilene knew what she was doing and took the time to explain all of my options and all of the possibilities. When the custody issue ...became a non-issue she, without complaint, transitioned to estate planning. During this time I was dealing with an ailing parent. Ilene was patient and extremely kind. She made herself available when it was convenient for me and she made the process painless. On top of all of this only a small portion of the retainer I paid to her was used, and she promptly returned the unused portion. I intend to keep her contact information handy for my future legal needs.

Smartest Attorney I know

Attorney Belinsky handled private matters including my divorce, child custody, selling and purchasing of real estate, and my estate planning. She is a recognized professional amongst her peers and was well recommended. Her effective and quite advantageous utilization of time makes even Coach Bill B...elichick look like an amateur. She is the only attorney I recommend.
